11 Things You Do When You're The Mom Friend

In This Article:

Found in every group of friends, the "mom" is a role that lives up to the name. From snacks to car rides to support, the mom of the group plays a pretty big role. That being said, it's only fair to point out we've garnered a few tells as to who holds the title.

1. You always ask your friends to let you know they made it home.

While most people may ask you to let you know if you made it back when the weather's kinda crappy, the mom of the group will ask you every time, rain or shine. Safety is a priority, and you take it seriously!

2. You voice your reservations.

Giphy

For every mom friend, there's at least one daredevil. Sometimes their idea of fun doesn't always resonate with you, and you try your darnedest to keep everyone out of trouble.

3. You support your friends and their decisions, even if you don't agree.

Giphy

Let's face it, we don't all agree with everything our friends do, or how they do things. It's hard to see people do things you don't agree with, but it's important to support them. Even if it turns out your inclination was right, everyone needs to learn on their own sometimes.

4. You bring snacks.

Giphy

Whether they be homemade or store-bought, you're bound to have food ready for your friends. If not, they're only a short trip away!

5. You're constantly on the go.

Giphy

As we get older, everyone tends to get busier. Of course, that doesn't mean you slow down. Visiting your people and seeing what they're doing will always have a special place in your heart.

6. You genuinely care about your friends' well being.

Giphy

Ask anyone, it's nice to feel cared about. You often put it on yourself to make sure all your friends know they have someone to rant to and a shoulder to cry on.

7. You often put others needs before your own.

Giphy

It can be overwhelming to try and be the support system others have always known you to be. It's important to take time for yourself, too.

8. You tend to plan get-togethers.

Giphy

When it comes to your friends, there are few circumstances where you'd miss the opportunity to see them. With everyone's busy schedules it can be hard to find the time to see your pals, but nothing beats catching up with them.

9. Even if you aren't friends anymore, you still care.

Giphy

However close you may be to your friends, it doesn't mean that some friendships haven't been lost along the way. It's perfectly normal for people to grow apart. Sometimes you find your way back to each other, and sometimes you don't. Whatever the case may be, it doesn't matter how a friendship ended, but the fact you still care says a lot about your character.

10. You want everyone to be comfortable.

Giphy

Too hot? Too cold? The day you start asking this is a pinnacle moment of your "motherhood" experience.

11. Your friends will do just about anything for you, and you will for them, too.

Giphy

The mom friends care so much, they have hearts of gold. While you may not expect anything in return, it goes unsaid that your friends are appreciative of your actions. Even if they don't say it often, they care just as much about you.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
